Core i5-11600 vs Ryzen 5 5600GT benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5600GT beats the Core i5-11600 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-11600 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 5600GT has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-11600. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Ryzen 5 5600GT also has slightly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-11600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
